Add support for IPX800, a standalone relay webserver

[Grouic]

I wonder what is the best solution to add support for IPX800 V3 Domoticz.
http://gce-electronics.com/en/home/57-ipx800-v300.html
The IPX800 is a standalone relay webserver with a LAN interface, which includes 8-32 relay output, 8-32 digital inputs and 4-16 analog inputs.
Way to communicate with IPX are:
- M2M protocol
- Push from IPX (on timer or event)
- Xml stream status
- JSON protocol
I think we should define a new type of material with:
- IP address
- Number of digital extensions
- Number of analog extensions
And then set each item separately

Thanks

Hello
+1 for me, the IPX800 is a great card

Bonjour,

Moi aussi je souhaite piloter un IPX800.
Protocoles M2M et IP.

Doc des protocoles (Semble simple) : http://www.gce-electronics.com/attachme ... achment=47

Avantage : IPX Autonome pour piloter des fonctions spécifiques (Volets, Portail, Eclairage extérieur...).
Possibilité de l'insérer dans un ensemble Domoticz sur raspberryPI.

Hello,
That would be a really nice new feature.
Are you going to add it for IPX800 v3 and v4 ?

Cheers

I don't think this would a priority for the dev team, more a nice to have. I've been using the IPX800 v3 for 2 or 3 years and I had no difficulties to integrate it within Domoticz. Very easy to drive the relays (just an http url in On/Off action), fairly easy to retrieve the analog outputs.
For instance, to drive relays 5 On and 6 Off

Code: Select all

http://user:password@IPAdress/preset.htm?set5=1&set6=0

To retrieve analog values (3 channels), a bash script is needed

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

This one is a bit more engaging.

hello,

It is true that it would be great to have native support and all devices added automatically. Some other products like Jeedom already do it.

What delay do you have on the outputs?

Hello.
I also have an IPX800 relay.
I have a Domotitz server installed on Synology.
I'm trying to add here, could someone help me?
What hardware should I add?
Which switch should I choose?
Where do I put the basch script for analog inputs?

Well thank you.

[laco]

Relay I managed to add
hardware:
Dummy (Does not use virtual switches only)
Add next:
Create Virtual Sensor
Choose:
Switch Type: On / Off
On Action:
http://192.168.1.125/preset.htm?led1=1
  Off Action:
http://192.168.1.125/preset.htm?led1=0

I now control the relay.

Next I can not move, I need to retrieve data from IPX800 v1, pro, v3
I have 8 analogue sensors, 1 counter and 6 digital sensors

Will someone help me? I am willing to pay for your help.

And I'm probably done here. The previous script was for raspberry pi.
Will anyone help me to create a synology script?

You should first try these commands (ping and curl) from the CLI as the user that will also execute the script.
Maybe they need to use sudo the be allowed to execute these commands. If so, you also have to adjust the commands in the script.
